Crash And Learn I consider this a modern classic of comedy. This movie is great for many reasons. It's great because Vince Vaughn is a genius of comedic phrase construction, who I believe improvised much of his speech in the film (his particular manner of speaking-- when he's being really funny, such as in Jon Favreau movies -- is unmistakable). It's great because Vince Vaughn's character undergoes a series of misfortunes, at a level of humiliation usually reserved for Ben Stiller characters, and stays funny and cool while sacrificing his body and dignity to the Gods of situation comedy. It's great because it's rated R, so, like a good sex comedy, is can pique us with nudity, as well as with jokes. Rachael Adams, obviously, is supernaturally attractive in every sense of the word. But you may have also heard that Isla Fisher, who I'd never heard of before, steals the show, with her performance as Christopher Walken's hot virgin/sex pot/nut job daughter. The people who said that were right. She indeed steals the show, when Vince Vaughn isn't stealing it, or they aren't stealing it together. It's great, of course, because Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, as a team, are a slacker hero comedy duo, that also achieve a real feeling of loyalty and sensitivity between them. It's great, finally, because ultimately it's all about men behaving insanely in an attempt to find women, only to end up finding the women with whom they are happiest behaving insanely. And ain't that what love is all about? email this review to a friend
